What you want to do I will advise you do it now because the prices you see today will look like dips tomorrow. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now with financial markets will be best you seek a fin-professional with fiduciary responsibilities who knows about mortgage-backed securities for proper guidance.

We liked the 4x4 Sprinter platform the best, but the model that was in our budget with that platform was a Thor Tranquility. We knew the Thor quality issues, so we bit the bullet to fix things ourselves and replace if needed. I’m not gonna list everything that went wrong with the build (a lot of it is similar to your Thor van), but it has worked out great for us so far, especially the Sprinter platform though there are downsides to that too, but still liked it a lot more than the Promaster. And with the savings, we upgraded for offroad capabilities with suspension/lift kit, Owl box, on board air compressor and so on. If you guys are ever in the SoCal area or if we are in Arizona, you’re more than welcome to take it for a ride!

Not sure how true this is, but was once told by an RV salesperson that you should never really consider buying an RV at an RV show. Was told that the dealership doesn't actually discount the RVs as much as they would have if you negotiated on their lot. This is because the dealership has to bake in all the extra logistical cost of moving all those units to the RV show, (Gas, personnel, equipment etc..). Again, not 100% sure of the accuracy of this information, but it woudl make sense.

We traveled in a Storyteller Stealth for a week in Oregon and it was pretty solid. The electrical system is top notch even though they could add a bit more solar to the roof but we never had an issue boondocking the entire time. The exterior upgrades are awesome too. We’re not really a fan of the side sleeping with cabinets above your head in the flare space. Nothing is worse than crawling over your partner to use the toilet in the middle of the night! 😅 At that price it may make more sense to go with an up-fitter and do a custom build. Problem with custom builds though is financing so unless ya got the cash, the storyteller might be the best adventure rig available if you want some off-road camper with financing available

Yes support Bob, Im 6’3” and I fit just fine and sleep great in our STO, just hate to say it that stock mattress needs to be replaced…! And if you think your too big for it you must feel as giants in your current van lol. STO has see thru pricing so a ‘24 stealth is 199,743 so that dealership pricing over 297,185k with 105k knocked off seems like something’s off, again STO has on their own site they list a ‘24 stealth at 199,743 the ‘24 🎉 beast is listed at 232,586 so hows the list price for that stealth higher than a beast? A ‘23 stealth was 188,941 and that took in account the 12k manufacture rebate. ‘23 beast was 221,408… So maybe their so called list price is the MSRP which is irrelevant And if thats it they’re playing some creative math/numbers to make folks think they’re giving a discount and yet still selling at the set STO price. There was a price adjustment aka: manufacture rebate, not long ago thru STO but from my knowledge their see thru pricing is still set and all dealerships are set to those prices.. Now back to supporting Bob you know he’d love a STO, and you cant take it with you so enjoy it now… 😊 Love your couples choice as well, and its price is easier on the pocket book thats for sure. In the end each person has their own idea of the perfect rig and what things they must have and what they are willing to do with out, in the end long as folks get out and enjoy the road/nature and creates the memories thats all that counts…

If I was looking for Pro-master, this would BE the best and my choice, out of all the Vans that you've shown (all the B-class). The biggest elephant in the room with all Pro-masters, is the FWD. I'd want the head-room and AWD drive of the Ford Transit chassis B vans. No slide-out, N-S twins expandable to full bed option. Better traction, more torque and overall power and better MPG. Hard to find, I know, but they are out there.

Does the auto company carry the warranty for chassis nationwide? And who does warranty work for rv if you buy in a out of state show?

I saw the invoice on the 2023 Talaro 20J, $145,000, minus a $36,000 trade in for her 2018 Pro-Master City I built out for her and the 2014 Trillium 4500, brought it down to $125,000, but then you add in the 10year finance + interest = $200,000. What kind of interest = the cost of the van?

I have the 2021 Thor Scope and have had some issues nothing really maor, a roof vent leak which was repaired and a water pump that went out. The water pump going out wasnt a THOR issue as it was just a bad pump from the manufacturer. I have repaired and upgraded my van to what I wanted and everywhere I travel to people stop me and ask about it and want to tour it. The guys (and I am a senior retired female) all say I have outfitted my van well and compliment me on it. I have had travel trailers, Keystone and R-Pods and they have all had issues too. The Keystone Passport was a 2020 24ft trailer and I didn't notice until I did was a water leak coming from under a cabinet, the dealer did everything they could including keeping it under something and spraying constant water on it and did not find the leak. Then when we had a bad rain storm and they had it parked in the back lot the tech went out to it days later and discovered a huge puddle, it was leaking from the rv door. They pulled the lino up and the cloor was completely rotted and moldy. Keystone offered me a brand new 2021 w/o any hassles. The moral of the story is ALL rv's have issues no matter what year and what brand some are built reall y good and then they mess up on some. Everything is repairable!! I wouldn't buy the Storyteller, way too much, just make the van you have yours and be happy!

Screw buying a tricked out van. Not enough room to move. I built my own old school van out 14 years ago. Still on the road for all those years. Full time travelers. Full size bed, 24” TV, Engel refrigerator, 300W solar, Trojan T-145 batteries, stove and all the gear! Seen all of America at least twice! Total build with van USD $4500. Still on the road with second engine. Travel like KINGS on our NAVY retirement.

Storyteller is a niche product; it’s a high quality adventure van. You can do pull ups on those overheads and they are removable. I dare all of you to do that with your non Storyteller vans that are using staples and glue. The Storytellers are automotive grade. If all RV manufacturers have the quality control of Storytellers, they would cost just as much. Bob - get it. It’s not like you guys aren’t living in it. 😂 As for Gretch RV, they drive each of their vans about 200 miles to get rid of noise and rattles.

Any Mercedes is overpriced. Ty both for your channel being 6'3 it's hard to go by a lot of reviews when no one is tall. I too like the 18m floor plan, but it has that four letter word on it (Thor). I would love a quad seat and rear bath layout, but none exist.

OK! I say if Bob has a dream and wants this van so badly and is perfect in his mind, then I say YES! support Bob and trade Mr Lemon for this van. We have a Roadtrek Zion which I think is pretty near perfect but ... no quite... There are no perfect vans. If I found the perfect van, I would trade it. Looks like Bob found his perfect van :D - Discount? . I think it's the price is "discounted to .what it should be at. The other thing, the head space... I'm only 5'4" and clutsy, I would totally bump my head on the cabinets too
